-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Shooting Stars: small ships and crash/catapult launched interceptors all of the following vessels/interceptors/fighters are able to be carried as ship's boats by the larger vessels or by Sky Fortresses and other "carriers". Shooting Stars typically have a base Man Class of C-D and a base SR of 3 irrespective of type of helm. Available air is equal in weeks to max. number of crw times tonnage. The Shooting Star era has given rise to many Gigant Weaponnes, ie giant versions of normal melee weaponry to be used by the humanoid Shooting Stars. The tonnage/weaponry restrictions are overcome with external weapon pods on many vessels of these classes. Shooting Star Hulls: HULL: COST: SPT: APT: HQ: MAX. CREW: MAX.

The Hulls are able to be fitted with a variety of PsiHelms, BardHelms, Arcane Helms or Furnaces as well as Dynamoes of Flying and more esoteric planet-specific propulsion methods. Spheres and Saucers have even been known to be towed by domesticated space beasts able to generate their own warp envelope, planar travel portals or spelljamming field. Man-Ga = giant suit of armour resembling a humanoid tank. Weaponry is carried externally as giant versions of humanoid melee weaponry or ranged weaponry. Mek-Ha = specialised form of "home brew" Juggernaut Golem, able to assume two forms - that of a Man-Ga or that of a terrestrial vehicle or steed of some sort such as a watergoing ship, war wagon or war elephant. Each form has the same characteristics but not the same move rate as the Man Class and move will vary depending on whether or not the craft is in space or planetside. Detailed stats on each Hull are available on request. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
